has nov arrived, and some plan
should lie devised to meet the eEer-

economical than the present one
and which will utilize to some extent
the labor Of the pauper and the con.

idle. The plan usually adopted ia
older communities to effect this is
the poor farm, or County Farm.
This is a farm With suitable build
ings where enough provisions are
raised to feed the paupers, and when
they are kept at work at such labor
as they can perform and thus made
to pay their expenses. Here, too,
insane persons might be kept and
provided for at Car less expense than
in Jail. And finally here, too, con-
victs who now languish in jail eating
out their 6nes could be made to
work them out aud thus do their
country some service. A smaiijail
could be constructed ia which to
keep convicts at night, and they
could be KEPT at work during the

There is little doubt but that If they

began. and among the list of Republicans
who lost no time in presenting their
claims was A. L. Love, cashier of the
Livingston bank. This occasioned
another surprise. Among those of the
Republican ranks besides Mr.. Love who
sought to obtain the position were Mr..

The Presidents Message.

The concluding paragraph of the Presi-
dents message Is a sample of the sensible
whole: 1.-THE simple and plain duty
which We owe the people is to reduce
taxation to the necessary expense of an
economical operation of the government
and to restore to the business of the
country the money which we hold in the
treasury through the ~preversion oi
governmental powers. These things can
and should be done with safety to all our
industries, without danger to the oppor-
tunity for r~emunerative labor which our
workingmen need, and benefting them
and all our people by cheapeniLg their
means of subsistence, and increasing the
easur of their comforts"

BLlINE'S "BUNCOMBE."

Jas. G. Blaine in his Ill timed criti-
eisms of the Presidents message says
that the President has classed the juicy
and fragant weed among the luxuries
and In his tricky use of terms sympa-
thizes with the consumer, who'd. G. says,
is taxed for every plug of tobacco and
cigar heibuys. The Chicago News in com .
menting upon this strange inconsistency
of the great Republican statesman, who
accepts the challenge given by President
Cleveland, for his party by declaring
that the internal revenue on tobacco
should be abolished, says.
"And where has the United States
reaped any benefit from the reduction in
the internal-revenue tax on tobacco ?
Its receipts from this source under the
old rate of is cents per pound for the
year ending June 80, 1882, were 4 $780,.
$50. BY the reduction to s cents per
pound, which went into effect May !,
1888. the receipts were cut down to $780,
O62, 400 for the year ending June 80, 1884.
For the fiscal year ending June 80 last
the receipts from this same source were
$50, los ,057, an increase of 50, 200, i04 over
the preceding year.
The best proof possible that consumers
have not been the beneficiaries of the
reduced internal revenue levied on to-
baoco is afforded IN the fact that the
price has not fallen SO as to discourage
the importation of tobacco. In the year
1880 the value of tobacco i%mportations
was Sc, LIS 1888, yielding 81 ,6Sl 400 duty.
In anticipation Of the fall in prices pro.
phcsied to follow the reduction in the
internal revenue on tobacco, in effect
May l, 1888, the importations for that
year were forced up to $10,5l5 ,SO6, on
which the duty was $7,601 ,63S. The
receipts for the next year naturally fell
oil $S,593,0 COS. from which they have
steadily grown until for the year ending
June 80, 1887, they were nearly 10000
900, from which $9.127 ,75S duty was col
lected. 1t is thus apparent hat the
reduction in the internal tax on tobacco
has not discouraged its importation,
which in 1887 was nearly half as great
again as it was in 1884. And why
should it, since the consumer pays just
as much for his plug and his cigar as he
did before 1888?
